Behind the Hitter Toss 1-2-3

• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while partner/coach stands at least 5-7 feet behind the plate
• Hitter starts by going through the hitting positions 1 and 2 (hitting positions are:
• Partner underhand tosses the ball on a line down the middle of the plate while hitter in in the hitting position 2
• Hitter keeps eyes forward, and starts swing (hitting position 3) when they see the ball, hitting it straight up the middle into the screen or cage
• Partners switch after 10 swings
• If players are having trouble picking up the tosses, allow them to look back at their partner to pick up the ball sooner (the ball should still be hit back up the middle)
